The student will compare and contrast empirical data and a theoretical distribution to determine if Terry Vogel's lap times fit a continuous distribution.
Directions:
Round the relative frequencies and probabilities to 4 decimal places. Carry all other decimal answers to 2 places.
Collect the data
Use the data from
Terri Vogel’s Log Book . Use a Stratified Sampling Method by Lap (Races 1 – 20) and a random number generator to pick 6 lap times from each stratum. Record the lap times below for Laps 2 – 7.

Construct a histogram. Make 5 - 6 intervals. Sketch the graph using a ruler and pencil. Scale the axes.
Calculate the following.
Draw a smooth curve through the tops of the bars of the histogram. Use 1 – 2 complete sentences to describe the general shape of the curve. (Keep it simple. Does the graph go straight across, does it have a V-shape, does it have a hump in the middle or at either end, etc.?)
Analyze the distribution
Using your sample mean, sample standard deviation, and histogram to help, what was the approximate theoretical distribution of the data?
~
How does the histogram help you arrive at the approximate distribution?
Describe the data
Use the Data from the section titled "Collect the Data" to complete the following statements.
The IQR goes from __________ to __________.
IQR = __________. (IQR=Q3-Q1)
The 15th percentile is:
The 85th percentile is:
The median is:
The empirical probability that a randomly chosen lap time is more than 130 seconds =
Explain the meaning of the 85th percentile of this data.
Theoretical distribution
Using the theoretical distribution from the section titled "Analyse the Distribution" complete the following statements:
The IQR goes from __________ to __________.
IQR =
The 15th percentile is:
The 85th percentile is:
The median is:
The probability that a randomly chosen lap time is more than 130 seconds =
Explain the meaning of the 85th percentile of this distribution.
Discussion questions
Do the data from the section titled "Collect the Data" give a close approximation to the theoretical distibution in the section titled "Analyze the Distribution"? In complete sentences and comparing the result in the sections titled "Describe the Data" and "Theoretical Distribution", explain why or why not.
In economics, a perfect market refers to a theoretical construct where all participants have perfect information, goods are homogenous, there are no barriers to entry or exit, and prices are determined solely by supply and demand. It's an idealized model used for analysis,

Quantity demanded refers to the specific amount of a good or service that consumers are willing and able to purchase at a give price and within a specific time period. Demand, on the other hand, is a broader concept that encompasses the entire relationship between price and quantity demanded

Economic growth as an increase in the production and consumption of goods and services within an economy.but
Economic development as a broader concept that encompasses not only economic growth but also social & human well being.

What do you think is more important to focus on when considering inequality ?
sir...I just want to ask one question... Define the term contract curve? if you are free please help me to find this answer 🙏
Asui
it is a curve that we get after connecting the pareto optimal combinations of two consumers after their mutually beneficial trade offs
Awais
thank you so much 👍 sir

In economics, the contract curve refers to the set of points in an Edgeworth box diagram where both parties involved in a trade cannot be made better off without making one of them worse off. It represents the Pareto efficient allocations of goods between two individuals or entities, where neither p
